East Coast pop-punk trio Meet Me @ the Altar have shared feelgood new single, Hit Like A Girl.
An anthem of female empowerment, the track – which coincides with Women's History Month – is inspired by thousands of posts shared by women online, detailing what being a woman means to them.
Supported by an array of easycore-style guitar riffs courtesy of guitarist Téa Campbell and galloping, breakdown-esque rhythms from drummer Ada Juarez, vocalist Edith Johnson evokes nothing but positivity with a set of defiant lyrics.
Hit Like A Girl is the trio's second track released on Fueled By Ramen, following Garden, which dropped back in May 2020.
“People are so supportive of us on social media,” the band explain. “It's really cool to see all of the comments and DMs of people who don't even necessarily listen to punk rock, but they're just cheering us on.
“It's really cool to feel like our music is bringing together people that wouldn't have been brought together otherwise. We feel lucky to be in this position. In general, we try to be the best role models we could be for our fans.”
“He would beat the crap out of the guitar. The result can best be described as Jackson Pollock trying to play like John Lee Hooker”: Aggressively bizarre, Captain Beefheart's Trout Mask Replica remains one of the craziest guitar-driven albums ever made
“There is no-one who can do this process with me as well as he can”: Alex Van Halen says a new Van Halen album is in the works – and he’s recruited Steve Lukather to help him complete it
